Rijks Museum, The Netherlands

Hi Dear Folk,

I'm going to spend 2016 in Holland, well in my mind, each day as I post my diary

This is the diary I bought at the Frick House, I like a diary with many different pictures. I especially like this one because it is a collection of different pieces of art from the Rijks Museum in the Netherlands. Each one is so different form Rembrandt to Jan van Essen, old masters to sketches of dogs.

Morning Ride Along The Beach, 1876 Anton Mauve.

The Harmonists c 1876-1877 Henriette Ronner.

Winter Landscape with Ice Skaters c1608 Hendrick Avercamp. We had a round jigsaw puzzle with a scene like this on when I was a child, I remember it sat on the dining room table for quite a few weeks and we worked on it as a family bit by bit.

Winter Landscape c 1815 Gerritt Lamberts.

Sheet of Studies of Dogs c 1900-1925 Jan van Essen.

Panel of Sixteen Tiles Decorated with Birds c 1640-1660.

The Night Watch c 1642 Rembrandt.

Windowsill with Bottles, a Glass Globe and an Apple c1892 Menso Kamerlingh Onnes.

Somewhere or Other, by Christina Rosetti

Somewhere or other there must surely beThe face not seen, the voice not heard,The heart that not yet - never yet — ah me!Made answer to my word.Somewhere or other, may be near or far;Past land and sea, clean out of sight;Beyond the wandering moon, beyond the starThat tracks her night by night.Somewhere or other, may be far or near;With just a wall, a hedge, between;With just the last leaves of the dying yearFallen on a turf grown green.
